I'm not entirely sure 64-bit is the issue.  I installed the 32-bit 
version of Kubuntu 11.04 onto the same machine as my previous 
message and I got similar results -- i.e., Rakudo with 3.3 is 
slower than Rakudo with 3.0 even in a 32-bit environment:

Dell Dimension 9150, 4GB RAM, 32-bit, Kubuntu 11.04 i386
Version                    T1     T2     T3     T4    Fastest   vs 2011.01

Full results and logs are available at https://github.com/pmichaud/rakbench .  

Also, my 64-bit laptop (HP EliteBook 2530p, 3GB RAM, 64-bit) shows 
results more like what you were originally reporting -- i.e., 3.3 is 
faster than 3.0.

Version                    T1     T2     T3     T4    Fastest   vs 2011.01

  2011.02/3.1 (ms2)       194    194    194    194      194       112.8%

I'm currently re-running the suite on my desktop with 64-bit to make
its statistics and logs completely consistent with the new rakbench
scripts I'm using.  After that's done, I'll re-run the suite on my
desktop but limit the kernel to only 3GB of memory (instead of
4GB), to see if that makes a significant difference.
